8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
8 Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth.
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth.
8 Attention, all! See the marvels of God! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth,
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the earth.
8 Come, see the glorious works of the Lord : See how he brings destruction upon the world.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 46:8
Commentary on Psalm 46:6-11
(Read Psalm 46:6-11)
Come and see the effects of desolating judgments, and stand in awe of God. This shows the perfect security of the church, and is an assurance of lasting peace. Let us pray for the speedy approach of these glorious days, and in silent submission let us worship and trust in our almighty Sovereign. Let all believers triumph in this, that the Lord of hosts, the God of Jacob, has been, is, and will be with us; and will be our Refuge. Mark this, take the comfort, and say, If God be for us, who can be against us? With this, through life and in death, let us answer every fear.
